The list highlights organisations that challenge IT staff while providing great benefits and compensation. Last year, SAS was ranked No. 19. “Our employees are the best of the best. Our employees drive SAS’ success as a business and help make SAS a great place to work. As such, we work hard to provide them an atmosphere they can excel in,” said Suzanne Gordon, vice president and chief information officer for SAS. “When you treat employees with respect, you foster an environment of innovation and creativity. The spirit of the SAS culture surfaces in our products and distinguishes us to our customers.” SAS believes that a healthy workplace environment benefits both employees and business. Supporting people and relationships and maintaining a healthy work-life balance leads to more productive, satisfied and dedicated employees – a clear recipe for success.
